Fee Dig Information:

We respectfully request that guests do not bring their pets to the mine. Service animals are welcome.

Bring good shoes (no flip flops or open-toed shoes), sun protection, plenty of liquid refreshments, and snacks. Please note that the mine currently only has 6 sapphire gravel screening stations setup, so booking your visit ahead of time is VERY important. It usually takes 2-3 hours to screen the dirt, and it is a lot of work, especially in the summer heat.

Some shade is available. Please allow for variable weather conditions. Cold and wet weather gear is also recommended as the weather can change rapidly even in the summer.

If weather on the day of your dig is particularly bad (lightning, torrential rain), we will allow you to reschedule.

We have all the equipment you need to search for sapphires on site, although you are free to take purchased buckets of gravel concentrate home with you in addition to, or even instead of, using the mine's equipment.

We have two portable toilets on the premises, with one of them being wheelchair accessible.

Current weather for Helena can be found here.
